For you are all sons of God.
Wait, what did that say?
For YOU are all SONS OF GOD?!?!
How can that be. Born a son of sin and a son of the devil somehow I am transformed into a son of the prefect, eternal, holy, perfect God.
I want to say more about the concept of God being my Father later. For now I think it is amazing that not only Paul but John writes about this later.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Being a son of God is proof of His love. Because we are His children the world will never really understand us. It means that one day we will be like Him. It means that we will live pure lives. It means that we reflect His image to the world.
